cheers, luke.

To expediate the search for the shortened HR bump stops if you want to order them from Fulcrum, the part number you need to order from Fulcrum Suspensions is :-

Superpro Polyurethane SPF0147K Shortened Bump Stop.

They are about 1 inch high as opposed to the 2 inch standard HR bump stop and are a very pretty purple colour

.

Can't tremeber the price exactly but around $54 from memory??

) he may be bringing me some "goodies" but won't tell me what, i might have a very

christmas.

Always good to see a beast take its first breath...I would have thought the noise from the pulleys would drown out a leaky exhaust...

Put up a vid of it running...

That's easy fixed... just add an 8/71 Rootes blower overdriven 20%

Luke,

Love that external fan out the front of the motor, would love to know how you are going to mount that.

Seriously though you have come a long way.
